Mofo Nofo's Training, Master Velvar

[Cyril Khan]

A slight breeze forced the bright green leaves of the courtyard trees to dance in the sunlight. The air was warm enough to be comfortable, and the wind kept everyone from heating up in the midday sun. A few Jedi sat scattered about the courtyards, mediating while the day was still pleasant. One master, however, was there for business. He chose to begin teaching a student in the most vivid part of the temple. A large patch of grass was unofficially reserved for the training.

 

[Zen]

Mofo Nofo, sighed he was dressed already in green long Jedi Padawan robes, going down his feet. He was Little then other but was deadly in the force, his vain came from Training, Being trained by By Light and In certain matters Dark side, His control over it, was good to a point. Yet he kept this to himself. He was trained By Master Nuka which Gave up on Mofo, Trained by Shade Knight Neti, And then Grandmaster Quen, And Jedi Knight Jer, and Now Another person coming to train him, and which would leave him, yet again, soon he'll need a new master and so forth. His eyes rolled. As he entered the Country Yard, and Saw a Master, His feeling urged him to speak."Evening?" Mofo questioned the Master, as well as himself.

 

[Cyril Khan]

"No," The aged master remained in mediation as he spoke. He did not shift from his seated position in the slightest. His eye remained closed, and not a single muscle was tense. "It is midday. Perhaps there are a few reasons behind your incapability to hold onto a master."

If this student intended to hide anything from this master, he stood little chance in success. Even if he managed to squirrel his secret away the the deep recesses of his mind, he could sense the deception. It was not just because he commonly looked for such things in people (after all he had seen the darkest times of the Order), but he was among the most attuned to the Force of the Jedi. He was the Counselor who refused to use anything as a weapon, except himself through the guidance of the Force.

"Perhaps you can give me an introduction to yourself. Say as much or little as you care; what you say here may decide our future relationship. But do not fear; even if I grow to detest you, you will not leave my training until you succeed."

 

[Zen]

Mofo Eyed the Old man. He enjoyed being with Older members of the Order not of the stuff they learned but the power of knowledge they contain. He sat down slowly opposition of his New Found master, and brought both his hands over the crossed legged knees, as he had closed both his eyes and took a deep breath, and sighed deeply. Before opening his eyes. And speaking slowly.

” I am Mofo Nofo, Jedi Padawan, but should have been a Knight long before, I am of an Unknown Species, That has not been dated in the history. My Journey was both long,sad, dark, and enjoyable. I know what I am about say will discourage my Life as a Jedi, as I too Have been both with the Light and Dark, But It was balanced, showing neither. I hope my Story, will help you understand, But I do please and ask very nicely not to be exposed to the Council of my beings, I know I am Young, and at times might be foolish but, Please Know I have been taught how to control my emotions In the Shade Order. You might have Doubts, I fully understand that, and I support you fully. So let me begin, It was the Day my Jedi Master Nuka Had left my training and gave up on me, that turned me down that made me leave the order without Noticing them, but that was a mistake I solely Understand and a Life lesson. I left, And Joined the Shade Order, I will not expose them nor will I tell there names, or Code. But I will tell you this I have been learning, How to control the dark Side and some of it’s Techniques.. The Training was long and hard, and harsh both physelly and mentally. I have been also been taught and semi Trained by the Grandmaster of the Shade Order, And Now I have returned here, And Trained by the Jedi Knight Jek, Left me Like Nuka, I also discovered the death of Nuka. And have secretly visited the faunal. To play my respects to my former fallen Master. And here I am sitting in front of you, and telling a Story, what you do from here is, your choice. Wrong or Right it does not make a different as long as you pick the right and good choice.”

Mofo Finished speaking waiting for a reply.

 

[Cyril Khan]

"Whether or not you are ready to become a knight is the decision of me first." Not many students were taught by Master Velvar, and this was not for a bad reason. The elder Jedi of the order knew that he was one of the strictest when it came to training. He valued discipline above everything else, and few of his students left with their arrogance still intact. "But ultimately the council has the last say. You can appeal to them if you think I am unfair, but when I tell them you are ready, you will be without a doubt."

The aged master rose to his feet with the grace and speed of a youth in his prime. He took a few step steps toward a short tree that grew adjacent to the nearby cobble sidewalk. His back faced his student as he continued to speak.

"Since you are sure of yourself, we shall test your capabilities." The wind continued to blow through the blooming trees and grass of the courtyard. Master Velvar noticeably had his attention on this aspect of nature as much as he put his attention on his student. "We'll start with what you know or should know, and we'll fix what mistakes you learned from previous masters. Don't bother showing off; I am not easy to please, as I can find plenty of mistakes even in the Grandmaster.

"Tell me what you know of our order and code. You do not need to recite it for me; tell me how you understand it to mean. If you can do this, you know it well enough to pass as a member of our order."

 

[Zen]

He looked at his Master, and gave him a respectfully Grin. Mofo looked at the master and Spoke after he had finished.

" Master, I fully understand." He said truthfully. Looking at his master as he stood up and walked towards the point he smiled, and waved his hand playfully and nicely, as a way to cheer his mood up. But it wouldn't help his cause.

He too, stood up and begun to speak after his master finished speaking.


"I do not wish to say, at this current time but if you wish, I will do so, if you do.""

He was a bit, Sadden, and he almost forgot the code but still had it in the monetary, he just needed found the words.

 

[Cyril Khan]

"Please do." The breeze stopped for a short while, and a eerie quite filled the courtyard. The other Jedi still studied intently, but they did not interact with those around them. They focused on their own work. Master Velvar chance his posture or look away from the nearby tree as he answered his student. "It need not be much. Even a single sentence would do, if you are clever enough to condense your thoughts to so little."

 

[Zen]

Mofo Nofo Gave, His master a Nice and gentle Brimming happy smile, not as a sign of emotions, although some may take it as that, but as a Sign of Understand mate. He would beginning to speak.

" First Step Emotions, They are all around us, even when we do not show we think or, Express them in ways we do not wish to Show. Yes and no, they may and cannot Cloud your Judgment, It depends on the Si stern, Emotions, are given from birth all living things, Ruthless or not.Ingeborg is a sign, of A Sin based of a few known ones leading, to the Lust of Knowledge. And self contravene, Excuse my Reading of the Code Differently, Master.Chaos, Yet Harmony, Is a Basic myth in my opinion, We do chaos, by slaying the Bogan, Justice? No we are both doing the same thing as if they were killing us but in a different manner, Just by getting rid of Evil. Without Good and Evil, This would be peaceful yes, But meaningless In a sense.Last, one I do not understand, I mean I have a Hard time Understanding it."

He finished slowly, waiting for a reply.

 

[Cyril Khan]

"It's in my duty to help you see it in our way." The aged master looked as serious as he ever had. While he had spent many years with the Jedi, through both wonderful and chaotic times, he had personally trained only a few. He rarely got grief from this lack of work; he treated his student harshly, gave steep punishments, and did things his own way. While he would heed his superiors demands to assist with the growth of the order, he refused to do it exactly as demanded. "However, there are few members of our Order that I detest more than the ones who blindly believe and translate the code as the council dictates. While I do not believe what is taught incorrect, I believe that it can only be learned through experience. Spend some time looking at this world, and you will soon understand."

Master Velvar turned around and gazed sternly at his short apprentice. His cold expressions clearly showed that he could not easily grow attachments to anyone. He wasn't a sour old man, but he seemed that way to others. Only the strongest of the Jedi could see that he was a man broken by friend's betrayals; even the Force had grown distant from him when the darkness of the Bogan grew in power. Twenty years in the past had changed him greatly.

"I suppose you have studied the histories of our Order in the past." The master began to walk towards the cobblestone walkway as he spoke. "Every day I would like you to visit the archives and study it some more. You do not need to report to me on your learning. You can even skip them if you wish. However, I will demand that the council give you a test on the subject as part of your knight trials. I suggest you use your free time wisely.

"We have done enough for today. I am sure you have much to meditate on, as do I. Meet me tomorrow in training room 23 at sunrise. Do not be late."

 

[Zen]

Mofo understood right away. He came close to his Master and spoke."Master, I enjoy your teachings, Your training Is Different in a Sense, Yes I understand I will meet you here. In fact I will Stay here and wait for you. I mean for the time to past. Master I have a Question, I understand Jedi or any force User does not enjoy Talking about the Past, And The History is told by a Person who is there or was, People have different manners, and each time they past by we get away from the Actually source maker. I am not sure you understand me. But never mind. It's nothing." He said slowly, Troubled he was, but the fact that he wanted to learn was another thing.

 

[Cyril Khan]

"I am very glad to hear that." The master stopped walking for a moment as he spoke. Soon after he continue to walk towards the courtyard exit. "However, I will see you in the training room, not here."

As soon as the night had passed, Master Velvar was inside the training room. He sat meditating while he waited for his student. Today, he would begin the actually training.

 

[Zen]

Mofo Nofo, sat there for a while. Thinking and mediating over night, He had little time for food, as mid morning came he had stood up and went to the archives, studying for a few hours, before quick ling grabbing something to eat and drink, water and Bread. He had finished and decided to head towards the Training Room his master Assigned him to. He went there moving past servant things, before opening the door, and sitting operative of his master eyes closed mediating as well.

 

[Cyril Khan]

"You claim to be ready to become a Jedi Knight." The Jedi Master stood up quickly and stared deeply into his student, who sat meditating in front of him. He had two intentions; if his pupil was ready to move on to the next rank, he did not want to hold him back; however, if he was not ready, he meant to remove any arrogance that could cause such pride. "We will see."

Master Velvar gracefully walked to the training room door and stopped to look behind him toward the apprentice. It seemed without a doubt that he did not plan to stay in the room they had appointed to meet in.

"In order to test your skills," The aged Jedi sternly looked at the youth as he spoke. Anyone with a bit of wisdom could tell that these test would not be easy. "I am going to take you into the most secret parts of the temple. There you may find things that might even threaten your life. We will see how prepared you are quickly."

 

[Zen]

Mofo Held his eyes closed, as His master had finished Speaking then Raised in eyebrow. Before answering."I do not claim I am ready as I have still much to learn, All I am saying is that I am Stating that I am ready not claiming, Your Voice in my opinion, has Doubts if I may pass or not.Why is that master?" He asked slowly, before standing up, and going to his master's side looking at the ceiling, His thoughts ran as he had Remembered his Training with his Former Master, the Troubles he did, The Things he acclimatised in little time it's like watching a baby become a Prodigally. He then looked at his Master, this Master He was great, and wise. Dis pelt his hiding of his doubts, Mofo can at least see that."When ever your ready must, let's go." He said slowly.

 

[Cyril Khan]

The Master led his student through the corridors of the Ossus Temple. He moved without hesitation and did not bother to see if the apprentice managed to catch up. Oddly enough, the path way he took seemed a bit different from normal. Some of the hallways never appeared to exist before. Perhaps the youth hadn't fully explored the place, but it definitely seemed like a new world all of a sudden.

No other Jedi shared these new found places, and it seemed like they had entered a restricted area that only a few could enter. Master Velvar finally came to a stop outside of a doorway, and he turned around for the first time to see if his student followed him that far.

 

[Zen]

Mofo followed his master, pass a walkway that was not known to him, he tried to ask or say something but could not at this minute and now he decided once his Master had stopped and looked around."Why, myself Master? It seems as no one else would go around the temple looking for this type of thing, How come you chose me Master?" He asked slowly, yet calmly.

 

[Cyril Khan]

"It is not that I chose you." The Jedi opened the door that he stood before. Behind it he could see a think rain forest with a thin dirt path. Obviously such terrain did not exist so close to the temple, but perhaps the masters had grown on in a room as a form of green house. Regardless of the oddity, Master Velvar stepped into the thicket as if it had been there forever. "You have training to accomplish, and this place makes a good proving ground."

 

[Zen]

Mofo Nofo Stepped inside as well, eying his master with a eyebrow. As he looked over the place it was wonderful to say the least, Mofo was calm and had his mind cleared. If he had said something it would be something without thinking. But he kept that to himself. Before he moved and looked at his master as he begun to speak.

"That is not what I meant Master. I meant why this place of all?" He asked calmly. Before slowly obverse the confinement around here."We could have simply did this out in the jungle, there must be a sole reason but never mind that. This ground Is indeed very well for proving myself. But to be honest, I have a few questions. Why do people have to Forget there past, no matter how hurtful it is. It will always come back, no matter how you hide it. What about The Death's of your Allies And Innocent Species dieing in the Hutt war. What is it for, this whole War Versus Society, Evil Versus Good, Bad And Great. Can't the world simply revolve peacefully?" He asked slowly.Mofo Seeked wisdom and Guidance from his Master.

 

[Cyril Khan]

"The past should not be forgotten." The Master did not always teach the full beliefs of the council, and for this reason he avoided taking an apprentice. His views didn't go against the Jedi Order, but they didn't always agree. Unfortunately, he couldn't teach anyone anything that he did not believe. "The past helps us deal with the present. We learn to use the past to prevent mistakes that have occurred. However, events that lead us into negative emotions, such as fear, anger, or despair, should not be focused on. It is the emotions brought from the past that are bad, not the memories themselves.

"The best way to overcome these emotions is through self control, and with this control any memory can be used for positive results." Master Velvar thought about the final few questions his student asked him. The older Jedi in the Order knew that he was an extreme pacifist; even so, his views on war and combat were complicated. "A universe filled with peace would be a wonderful thing. It would be great if things could sort themselves out. However, the universe is constantly falling into chaos; only through the works of others can it be fully sorted out. Laws cannot exist without a government, and peace cannot exist without someone to uphold that peace.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to always achieve peace through peaceful means, for there are people who only know war and death."

 

[Zen]

He walked around his master before speaking."You are a great teacher, You should be the Grandmaster, anyways Wouldn't someone able to hold peace, Become a Directer? Or something, and isn't the Government have there on views and opinions, and some what corrupt hypothetical people?" The Young Alien small like Unknown Species, had Asked.
